APPARATUS FOR CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT OF HETEROGENEITY OF GEOMATERIALS

摘要

An apparatus for continu-ous measurement of a geomaterial is dis-closed. The apparatus includes a measur-ing device and a flat bed operatively coupled to the measuring device. The measuring device includes a moving head configured to move in a longitudinal direction relative to a core section of the geomaterial and a first probe coupled to the moving head and configured to continuously measure a property of the core section. The flat bed includes a load actuator configured to secure the core section during the continuous measure-ment and axially rotate the core section, as well as a core holder assembly config-ured to apply confining pressure on a length of the core section.
